A person who follows the morality of individual principles orientation would prioritize their own moral principles over external factors such as laws or societal expectations. In this case, stealing the drug to save his wife's life would align with the individual's own moral principles of protecting their loved ones, and admitting to the theft would align with their principles of honesty and accountability. Therefore, choice D is the best demonstration of individual principles orientation.
